- Abstract
<bold>Unlabelled: </bold>Congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis (CSHRH), a rare disorder initially seen at birth or in the newborn period, is characterized by spontaneously involuting skin lesions. We present the case of a 12-d-old female who was born with many red-brownish nodules scattered over her entire body, and which regressed spontaneously.<bold>Conclusion: </bold>Although there are no clues to differentiate CSHRH from Letterer-Siwe disease, some signs and symptoms might enable us to reach an accurate diagnosis. A long-term follow-up to detect evidence of relapse or progression of the disease would be well advised.
